I had a use case which needed !exists(), and tried
NOT
/!
/not
but not~
. Finding that was the name from the docs was not obvious and I'm still not sure where it hides.
For reference, the operator is mentioned in https://tinydb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage.html#query-modifiers:
>>> # Negate a query:
>>> db.search(~ (User.name == 'John'))
But I agree that is rather difficult to find. I'll add the names of the boolean operations to the docs in addition to merging your change!

Fortunately, before making a PR for that I considered the other alternative.At least two other people (asker and answerer) have had this confusion: https://groups.google.com/g/mitappinventortest/c/QKkZL2oWCw8
